China should never have been allowed to join WTO until all the changes required were in place and China had aligned its economic model with the rest of the world. Then these problems would never have arisen.

As China doesn’t want to play by the rules, suspend them until they do.

Good luck....the other China story is the new defence co operation between nations seeking to diminish China's claims on the China Sea.

Weird world.

Gee, I wonder how Chinese corporations operating (or formerly operating) in the USA like TikTok, DJI and Huawei would answer this question.

At the very least, Americans working for those companies don't face arbitrary arrest.

You can call for it all you want, but it will make no difference as the CCP will never keep its word. China has been lying to the world on trade, and everything else, for decades.

Just concentrate on decoupling: it's the only way.

Oh! the arrest of an Executive of Huawei does come to mind.

Next time don't violate UNSC sanctions. Not the same thing at all.

Or circumvent US sanctions laws with a shameless shell scheme.

Listen to you guys, And, how do know she is guilty? Is she above the laws to get the deal? It’s all because the charges don’t stick so they have to let her go.

There was lots of evidence provided. Of course, she wasn't tried, but there is more than enough evidence to know she was guilty in the court of public opinion, which doesn't need to set the bar as high.

Sorry, am I supposed to feel bad for pointing out an obvious elite Chinese criminal?

even many Chinese Americans are charged for just being Chinese.

Yeah I believe that is another Source: People's Daily

deanzaZZR Gee, I wonder how Chinese corporations operating (or formerly operating) in the USA like TikTok, DJI and Huawei would answer this question.

The same as Nortel, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest, Slack, Twitch, Discord, Dropbox, Medium, Vimeo, Wikipedia, Flickr, Soundcloud, and most companies that would compete with Huawei ... since Huawei blatantly stole intellectual property from Cisco and Nortel in their early years.

BTW, that's a tiny slice of US companies that have been banned in China. There are lots of others, some where closed for doing their job to help foreign investors decide on possible Chinese company investments - like Mintz Group and Bain & Company and Capvision Partners.

China has been blocking foreign companies completely or mandating 51% Chinese ownership for almost 25 yrs now as a way to protect their local CCP-friendly people who they can control or disappear.

Meng was never convicted of a crime yet she ...

That was to prevent Canadian hostages taken by the CCP from being killed. Her limited movement was hardly a jail. https://financialpost.com/technology/prisoner-in-vancouver-huawei-cfo-awaits-her-fate-in-splendor was free to travel around Vancouver for work, shopping, restaurants, provided she was home by 11pm.

Meng Wanzhou steps out of her US$4.2 million mansion, a GPS monitor strapped to her ankle, and slips into a chauffeured black SUV. Then she’s off, largely free to roam the shops and restaurants within 100 square miles of Vancouver until her 11 p.m. curfew.

DJI is still available in the US, BTW.

Heck, that's better than what most people have. Mansion. Chauffeur, Free movement within 100 square miles. Most people don't travel beyond 100 miles from their homes. Must have been terrible for Ms. Meng. She was guilty, but the US and Canada decided NOT to push it for fear of what the CCP might do to their hostages ... which I think they still hold, BTW. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/many-canadians-remain-detained-in-china-at-least-four-on-death-row-1.5600505

What US sanctions laws? US made up the fake fraud charges to punish Huawei, all because it is a Chinese company. It boils down to the US started it all, even many Chinese Americans are charged for just being Chinese.

Yeah, but everyone knows she's guilty. China just worked out a backroom deal to get her off.

Listen to you guys, And, how do know she is guilty? Is she above the laws to get the deal? It’s all because the charges don’t stick so they have to let her go.

Please go into more details about these required changes. I'll help you out by sharing this link to the WTO charter. https://www.wto.org/english/docs_e/legal_e/04-wto.pdf

Please answer this riddle. Why has the United States received the most WTO complaints? See this WTO map. Select 'as respondent' then click 'submit' and then click on the United States.

Citing a recent survey by the Chamber that found that a third of American firms in China say they have experienced unfair treatment compared to local competitors, Yellen says

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

U.S. considers to be unfair Chinese trade practices

Translation: we want our more expensive USA products to be cheaper than what you produce regardless of facts and reality!

Best example is the softwood lumber dispute with Canada, despite higher taxes, higher social cost (pension, universal medical, etc..) and higher environmental controls and regulations in Canada, the USA keeps raising tarifs claiming "unfair trade" because miracle of miracles, Canada has more wood available to harvest!

So don't hold your breath waiting for the USA to actually come to any fair agreement unless it is China agrees to raise all it's prices higher than the same products made in the USA!
